The Nduruma River flows from near the top of Mount Meru down to Nduruma. There are three groups of farmers on the river in competition for the water rights of the river. Local small scale farmers on the upper and lower parts of the river, and international large corporations farm the middle part of the river near Arusha city which is called Plastic Valley because of their many large greenhouse farms. The middle part of the river has been owned by Europeans since the Germans arrived in the 1800s. After World War I the English took over the farms. Today they are owned mostly by Dutch companies who now grow flowers there.<ref name="Komakech_12">{{Cite journal |last=Komakech |first=Hans |last2=Condon |first2=Madison |last3=van der Zaag |first3=Pieter |date=1 January 2012 |title=The role of statutory and local rules in allocating water between large- and small-scale irrigators in an African river catchment |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/262778592_The_role_of_statutory_and_local_rules_in_allocating_water_between_large-_and_small-scale_irrigators_in_an_African_river_catchment#pf4 |journal=Water SA |publication-place=Netherlands |volume=38 |pages=115–126 |doi=10.4314/wsa.v38i1.14 |access-date=4 July 2022|doi-access=free }}</ref><ref name="""">{{Cite thesis |last=Bont |first=Chris de |title=Water management in the Nduruma catchment, Tanzania |date=2013-05-01 |publisher=Water Resources Management Group of Wageningen University |url=https://edepot.wur.nl/274132 |place=Netherlands}}</ref>
